It's always a pleasure to be working with high flying Texas bluesman Tom Adams @tytlblues . Tom is so well known here on SoundCloud because of his ability to play and record blues classics and originals, his prolific work, his fine collaborations with serious musicians, and his spirit in following and sharing other's best music. Almost every day, his followers are treated to pure, authentic blues.  Tom knows the blues, he lives the blues, and he shares the blues.  Damn right he's got the Blues!

I've been fortunate to have played and recorded with Tom, and have organized our recordings together here.   And several other of my very favorite SC guitarists are featured on some of these recordings as well -- Justin Valente and Ian Tait.  Check out all their galleries.  Wonderful musicians.

Great SC Guitarists

Talented Summer artists

Saturday Plays # 82

Jazzy blues collaboration with blues axeman Joseph Bongiovanni, who brings it home with an accompanying B3 organ groove, in the swinging style of jazz organ great Jimmy Smith.  Think you'll like this one.  Always fun working with Joe, who was just invited to the International Blues Competition in Memphis.  He can play his ass off...

Walking On Hot Coals - Jamie Rhind and Joseph Bongiovanni

enjoy this spring shuffle with Tom Adams.  One of the very finest guitarists on SoundCloud, Tom is the consummate blues axeman.  Love his playing and hope you enjoy too. This is what we are feeling after a three day Memorial Day weekend.  Enjoy....

Post Holiday Blues - With Tom Adams / guitar

We had a blast pulling this together.  Its a simple blues/gospel riff on organ in F, that sets up some wonderful opportunities for heavy jams over the top by Justin and Tom, two of the finest blues players I have ever recorded with.  Tom has the solos with a more treble sound, and Justin boosts his midrange and bass.  Check out their SoundCloud pages if you are not familiar.  They are bad ass, just like this tune.  Let us know what you think!

Bad Ass Blues - with Justin Valente and Tom Adams / guitars

What fun pulling this together with three serious musicians.  You probably know Joe Bongiovanni and Justin Valente's awesome blues oriented guitars, and they stretch out here on this funk / soul / fusion groove.  Burning it up they are.  And joining us on Alto Sax is recording artist Matt Criscuolo.  Look for him at mattcriscuolo.com.  These guys just play their ass off here.  Started with an internet fusion loop, I added many keyboard lines to funk it up to the max, and we added these pros.  Joe takes the opening solos for the first four minutes, Justin follows, and we finish with all the guys trading off.  So much energy.  Positive energy here.  Put this on and relax.  Hope you enjoy the entire tune - an extended play jam.  Damn this is burning.... Thanks for listening.  The guys would love your thoughts....

Funk And Burn - With Joe Bongiovanni and Justin Valente guitars and Matt Criscuolo alto sax

Created this tune to combine elements of rock and fusion, and was looking to set up soloing similar to what John McLaughlin and Jeff Beck did with Jan Hammer.   Norway's superb fusion guitarist, composer and recording artist Ronny Heimdal is featured, and just tears it up.  Into pieces.  Little pieces.  Check out his gallery here on SoundCloud:

https://soundcloud.com/ronny-heimdal

Hope you enjoy our music.  Thanks so much Ronny:)

Busting Out - with Ronny Heimdal / guitar

How special for me to have been a part of this collaboration with the young and extraordinary Dutch composer/guitarist/keyboard player Rients Draaisma.  While my hope was to create a forum for a call and response type solo between my synth and Rients' soaring creative guitar ala John McLaughlin and Jan Hammer in the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Rients immediately turned it up several levels to create what we have here.   The head came from a synth solo line of mine that was then adjusted by Rients to meet the intricate and changing meter.  Everything else Rients did - the composition, the most intricate drum tracks, and his very deep soloing.  All  Overnight.  Wow.

We both hope you enjoy The End of The Circle, and would love your feedback.  Please check out Rients' Soundcloud compositions and performances, his website and his wonderful videos on YouTube...his playing and writing is going to change music....

The End of The Circle - with Rients Draaisma / guitar

Another fun one with Scotland's outstanding guitarist and master chef Ian Tait.  Ian once again brings it home with his signature funky solo and rhythm playing that matches so well with my jazz fusion roots.  Sure you'll enjoy this groove and tune I wrote, and be sure to check out Ian's gallery here too.  He cooks!

Goin' Home - with Ian Tait / guitar

Bringing a soulful sound to SoundCloud with this one.  Lifetime recording artist, soul vocalist, saxophone and harmonica player Johnny Pugh sits in with blues guitarist extraordinaire Justin Valente and me on an emotional Ray Charles type slow jam.  What a wonderful surprise to hear Johnny's beautiful harp lines, which fit perfectly with Justin's raw electric blues energy.  Real proud of this one, as it captures the heart and spirit of why we all love SoundCloud.   Check out Johnny and Justin's music here - you will love their playing.  Thanks for listening.

Soul Brothers - with Justin Valente guitar and Johnny Pugh blues harp and horns

So much fun to have musicians all over the world play together, and this jam includes three of my very favorite guitarists and musicians here on SoundCloud...Tom Adams, Ian Tait and Justin Valente.  These guys can all light up a stage, and graciously came together for this funky collaboration.  If you aren't following them all you should be - you'll be getting fresh tracks almost every day from each.  Tom and Justin are both from the US (Austin and NYC), and Ian hails from Edinburgh, Scotland.   For our Summer Funk Jam here, we started with a very funky internet backing track, allowing everyone to dig in and do their thing.  You'll recognize each of the guys' styles if you've been listening to their galleries, and together it makes for some serious Summer Funk.  Thanks guys for all the ongoing support - each of you help bring out the best in SoundCloud.  Make that SoundCloud FUNk.  Let us know what you think - it is always inspiring to get feedback on our playing:

Summer Fun(k) Jam - collab with Tom Adams, Ian Tait and Justin Valente / guitars

Created this Latin Jazz Rock tune with a very percussive latin groove over classic jazz changes.  Justin as always does a fantastic job with the guitar, helping anchor the mood while developing a fine solo to complement the salsa groove.  Put on your dancing shoes...

Latin Dancer - with Justin Valente / guitar

Ever since I found SoundCloud I have wanted to record with Italy's Daniele Turani https://soundcloud.com/danieleturani one of the finest guitarists I have heard here.  Daniele is a true master of progressive rock and has recorded and produced several ambitious albums of superb music which I have - and you should too.   Surprised Daniele with this smoother fusion composition, and he graciously approved.  Check out his sweet sweet playing here on the guitar solos and rhythm.  And also his fine photography on Instagram:)  A pleasure Daniele.  Grazi!!  

Enjoy and thanks as always for listening.

That Feeling - with Daniele Turani / guitar

It's back to school time for so many and that has students singing the blues! Thought we'd commemorate this time of the year with an electric blues, and asked the superb Tom Adams https://soundcloud.com/tytlblues to join me.   Tom knows I love funk, and when this backing track with my electric guitar solo keyboard patch landed in his email, was probably a little funkier and more electric than his norm.  But damn, check out what he's done to challenge me.  Listening as always, he throws back some serious pitch bends, distortion, and mimics beautifully what I am doing on the synthesizer.  I have the first solo, Tom follows and we're off to the races together.  Thanks for the fun Tom....always a pleasure.

We hope you enjoy this.  And check out Tom's extensive and inspiring gallery at https://soundcloud.com/tytlblues

Back To School Blues - with Tom Adams / guitar

Tom and I came together here to record one of my very favorite Rock tunes, Feeling Alright.  Originally written by Dave Mason and performed by Traffic, the tune was picked up by the great Joe Cocker, performed at Woodstock, and the rest is history.  A great I-IV groove that just brings home emotion.  Tom had recorded this without piano and I immediately jumped in to ask if I could add the defining part (at least for me ).  No vocals here but I threw in the trombone melody to help bring back the proper vibe.  Hopefully the passion comes through with our recording.  Tom really pushes his extended guitar jam so be sure to listen:)  If you don't know Tom or his outstanding guitar playing, check him out at https://soundcloud.com/tytlblues So many here do for great reason.  Always love performing with Tom and this one is extra special for me.  And that's our son Cameron on the Paddle Board doing handstands:).  He's Feeling Alright too!



Feeling Alright - with Tom Adams / guitar

This was something special! This track is a collaboration between Daniel van den Berg aka Danarchx on guitars and Jamie Rhind on Organ, strings synth and bass Synth. We aimed for a kind of Deep Durple meets Al Di Meola meets Yngwie kind of thing. It was cool and courageous of Jamie trying on a loud rock/metal piece but the result is... Well you judge! 
Music and instrumentalists: Jamie Rhind and Danarchx, 2014

Drag Racers on the Spanish Highway - Part 1 - Featuring Jamie Rhind

Gotta love the open invitation from Scotland's finest SC guitarist, fuzzmaster and executive chef Ian Tait https://soundcloud.com/ian-tait to join him on this heavy funk rocker.  Ian's signature funky sound and outstanding Wah playing were just what the doctor ordered for me, so I jumped in with some heavy synth guitar patch to try and match Ian's electricity on my keyboard.  On this track I take the first and third solos.  Damn this was fun Ian!!!  You are back with a vengeance.

Thanks as always for your time listening, to your welcome comments and for your shares.

Funky Strat Strut - with Ian Tait / guitar

Let's go for a stroll in Madrid....  All recorded on keyboards.

Thanks as always for your generous time listening, for your comments and for your shares.

A Walk in Madrid

1971 was an important time in music, where electricity was changing the landscape and Rock, Funk, Soul and Jazz were all merging into psychedelic grooves.  Marshal stacks were often taller than the players, the players were higher than the Marshal stacks, Strats and Les Pauls were the axes of choice, Hammond B3 Organs and Fender Rhodes keyboards could compete for volume with the guitars, and the hair was even longer than the jams.   Woodstock was a recent memory, Jimi Hendrix had just passed but had moved into the funk and soul inspired Band of Gypsies period, Sly & The Family Stone was heating it up with heavy funk and soul inspired grooves, and Miles Davis had just released the seminal Bitches Brew fusion double album that literally changed music.  This was where it was at, with each of these musicians and bands being influenced by each other.  Great stuff that produced legendary sessions and recordings and pushed music forward with power, energy, groove and volume.  

1971 commemorates this time and mindset, and recreates the feel with friends from around the world who continuously exhibit this spirit, energy and hair in their playing:

Alpha Roots - djembe  Stuttgart, Germany  https://soundcloud.com/alpha-roots
Rikard From - Hammond B3 organ  Umea, Sweden  https://soundcloud.com/rikard-from
Stephen "Pinner" Lipinski - guitar  New Jersey, USA  https://soundcloud.com/pinner
Scott Nelson - guitar  Pennsylvania, USA  https://soundcloud.com/scott-nelson-364333064
Marco Oversteegen - guitar  Almere, Netherlands  https://soundcloud.com/marco-oversteegen
Justin Valente  - guitar  New Jersey, USA  https://soundcloud.com/justin-valente
Jorg Calaminus - Dusseldorf, Germany - mastering

A couple of words on each of the players:  ALPHA ROOTS - Alphio was the perfect choice to add his soulful African djembe percussion voice.  One of the most prolific and inclusive musicians here on SoundCloud, always speaking with a positive voice.  Check out his often reggae and dub inspired recordings.  RICKARD FROM - my favorite B3 player here on SoundCloud.  We haven't recorded before but wanted his beautiful sound and also wanted these other heavy cats to be introduced to his Jimmy Smith type playing.  STEPHEN "PINNER" LIPINSKI - one of the hottest jazz fusion guitarists on SoundCloud, bringing more modern Scofieldesque jazz lines and harmonies to 1971.  SCOTT NELSON - another burning jazz and fusion guitarist, Scott sound combines elements of the contemporary guitar masters - Scofield, Metheny and Martino - to create his extraordinary playing.  MARCO OVERSTEEGEN - no one on SC has a closer overall sound to Hendrix, and we needed Marco's fabulous rhythm playing and soloing to anchor this 1971 mood.  JUSTIN VALENTE - Justin's my favorite blues rock guitarist, and just had to be a part of this summit, bringing us that heavy electric sound of Jimi, The Allman Bros, Freddie King and Stevie Ray Vaughn.  

So here's 1971.  Again.

Thanks to these great players for joining me and contributing so much to 1971, and also to all the listener, for your generous time, your comments and your shares.  And a special thanks to Jorg Calaminus for taking the initiative to master the sound for us to give you this real fine mix.
  

1971 - Alpha Roots, Rikard From, Scott Nelson, Marco Oversteegen, Pinner, Justin Valente, Jamie

We are so excited to present this seminal soul blues classic Who Knows, first performed by Jimi Hendrix' '70 power soul trio, Band of Gypsies.   Stick with it through the end for a thrilling ride.   Leading our team is Detroit's rocker Tony "Bluestone" Pappas https://soundcloud.com/tonybluestone , who just nails the spirit of Buddy Miles, Hendrix' drummer and vocalist.  So great to have Tony's soulful and rhythmical approach on this extended recording.  Our two exceptional guitar players are both from The Netherlands - Marco Oversteegen and Rients Draaisma.  Marco https://soundcloud.com/marco-oversteegen just had to be a part of this recording, as for me he is the closest player I know in approach and sound to what Hendrix laid down over 40 years ago.  If it sounds like Jimi here, it is Marco's beautiful playing.  Rients http://www.rientsdraaisma.com https://soundcloud.com/rients-draaisma comes at it from quite a different angle indeed, using a very progressive fusion inspired approach to his  brilliant and unique soloing, and while also taking it back with superb pitch bending and pentatonics.  As a huge Hendrix fan, and one who has been deeply influenced by his playing, I've decided to also solo, using a heavy keyboard synth patch to try and complement these two cats.  A big thanks to Rients for his programming of the drums for us here.  If you don't know any of these three superb performers, check them all out here on SoundCloud, and you can find Rients' music online and on YouTube as well...https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiKo-VxfXcQvecML3kQhhuw

You may have listened to a shorter version of this about 6 months ago, when we had first created the track but didn't have Tony leading us.  There's a lot of new material here on this recording.

Thanks as always for your generous time listening, for your comments and for your shares.

Who Knows - with TonyBluestone Pappas / Marco Oversteegen / Rients Draaisma / Jamie Rhind

here in the dark 
i found myself 
lost scared and meaningless 
spend to much time to follow you 
these hills can't get high enough 

so much to fall 
so high to crawl 
if only i find the scene 
where i can speak for only me 
teach me where will i be 

day one repeats 
i am still here 
these seas can't get deep enough 
i follow you 
not question you 
the air can't get thin enough 


so much to fall 
so high to crawl 
if only i find the scene 
where i can speak for only me 
teach me where will i be

Lyrics ...

I want to kill, the other half i want to help.
I tried my hardest to survive this hell.
Dark clouds form as i start to cry. The 
rain drops of blood drop from the sky.
Please do right, i'm starting to lose sight.
If they ever step foot in my mind , my 
thoughts would eat them alive. My cold heart
 once pumped happiness and love. The Shadows 
with smiles i once trusted, lurk within the chamber of 
isolation. Seeing a dream, that's not what it 
seems. I just want to be free. To save you, from 
me. Why's it hard to see, you've created the 
monster, that came to be. My smile hides the 
pain and rain.  A fictional world that says they
love you, but treat you like a slave! Old and feeble!
With visions of them in a grave. Hearing whispers. 
Michael, let me take you away, to the promise land.
I don't believe one deceiving word you say!

Can't you see! Can't you see what you've done to me!
Look in my eyes! Look into my eyes! This what I've become!
I will no longer be apart of this game! You be happy when 
i'm gone! Is that what you want! Is that what you all want!
So let it be. The world will be a happier place without me 
anyway.

We thank you for listening! Spoken Word Sad Songs Sad Mix Soundtrack

This is my first go at smooth jazz (not The Hollies :) And Jamie was so kind to help me in this journey with his amazing sound.

Come away with me
Leave your fears behind
There’s so much to see
And so much to find
We could reach the stars
Smiling up above
All the world is ours
All the world is love

If you care to find
If you dare to see
Leave your fears behind
Come along with me
We could chase the clouds
Running up above
All the world is ours
All the world is love

All The World Is Love

Funk Yeah!

Calaminus is back with a super funky collaboration, Catch the Drift.   Such a fine composition from the SC World Funkmaster, Jorg Calaminus.  He's done so much here and then listen to his fantastic piano/synth solo.  Over the course of 5 minutes, Jorg takes us from funk to some Hawaiian Island groove, back to the funk, to fusion, to 70's rock, and then back to the funk.  Something like that.  Maybe more.  Jorg's for years been one of the Cloud's finest creators, merging Funk, World, Fusion and Jazz.  With Jorg, rhythm and syncopation drive his music.  And taste.  There's always a surprise around the turns, and lots of layers.  Heavy music and a pleasure to be releasing this together. So great to have him back with his wonderful grooves.

The last Song from our new Album 

Plastic seals rise upon the shore
We're ready to fly let the show begin
Bend the coasts we're already dead
Feed us with false hope until we're all drowned

And when it's done
We're all just skeletons and skins
Made from the same lies
Won't rise again
We had the chance to make it right
Failed from our own lies

Feed us greed feed us all the lies we're ready to line let the march begin
Bend the coasts we're already dead
Feed us with false hope until we're all drowned

And when it's done
We're all just skeletons and skins
Made from the same lies
Won't rise again
We had the chance to make it right
Failed from our own lies

Prockjets (Singles Collection)

La Mer (Roma Edit)

collection of japanese obscure jazz fusion
compiled by dubby(ondas)

studio mule6  "2LP&CD"  distributed by kompakt

cover photo by mika kitamura

Midnight In Tokyo 2, the second installment to the compilation series that rounds up hidden gems by Japanese artists that's perfect for listening at night in Tokyo, is here. This time the collection brings together some tasty electric jazz fusion from the '80s , compiled by Dubby, the man behind the online record store Ondas.

The compilation begins with "Hikobae," a dark and slow cosmic jazz by saxophonist Genji Sawai, followed by "Danza Lucumi," an odd Caribbean-style jam by Today's Latin Project, a band fronted by Tadaaki Misago of Tokyo Cuban Boys, with arrangements by Yasuaki Shimizu. "On The Coast" is a soulful and mellow vocal track arranged by Ryuichi Sakamoto, from guitarist Shigeru Suzuki's album White Heat, and fusion boogie cut "In The Hot City" is by Mr. Theodore, which was a one-off project by a mysterious artist.

The melancholic soul jazz number "So Long America" is the title track from the album Yasunori Soryo released in '82, following a stint in America with the band Brown Rice. "Twisty" is a tropical reggae tune from the album Samba Kathy, an underrated classic by Jugando which was released on Trash, a sublabel of one of Japan's finest jazz labels, Trio. "Samarkand" is an electric Latin jazz jam that sounds like something Miles Davis and Santana could have played on, performed by a Latin funk band from Fussa. "Imagery" is a primal African fusion track by Katsutoshi Morizono, a member of the prog rock band Yoninbayashi.

"Windmill" is the most acoustic sounding tune on this compilation, a breezy Brazilian affair with a Hermeto Pascoal feel. "Mystery Of Asian Port" is by the band Parachute, which consisted of Japanese fusion giants like Akira Inoue, Tatsuo Hayashi and Masaki Matsubara. The cosmic jazz record sounds like something Daniele Baldelli would play in his sets. "Bay Sky Provincetown 1977" is a classic Japanese fusion tune by guitarist Yuji Toriyama.

The set also features the mellow but danceable "Heatwave" by keyboardist Keiichi Oku, featuring a female vocalist (which some have identified as Rie Ida), and last but not least, closing out the 13 track compilation is "Day Dream At The Bob's Beach," a wonderful urban fusion with a beautiful vibraphone melody, from the Japanese fusion classic album that was a one-off project by studio musicians.

I Should Have Done More - with Tom Adams / guitar

Pacman created this Dynamic track. I told him how much I liked it and he asked me if I would like to create lyrics to run with it. I was very excited about doing so. Pacman I hope I did your creation Justice. Much thanks to Julian Apelian for his awesome mixing and mastering skills.  We really appreciate that.

Wooooooo
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

Ever you wanted me to do
That's what I wanted to do
Still you were not satisfied

Ever you wanted me to be
That's what I tried to be
But I kept on dying inside

Trying to keep my head above water 
But I keep on sinking 
Feel like I am drowning

Trying to keep my head above water 
But I keep on sinking 
Feel like I am drowning

chorus: 
Drown drown drown drown drown drown drown drowning
Drown drown drown drown drown drown drown drowning
Where did I go wrong

Drown drown drown drown
Drowning
Drown drown drown drown
Drowning

Said I was the perfect girl for you 
You told me I was your dream come true 
Why do you feel the need to change me 

I'm drowning 
Can't keep my head above water 
Can't keep my head above water

Ever you wanted me to do
That's what I wanted to do
But I just couldn't seem to satisfy you

Ever you wanted me to be
That's what I tried to be
But I felt myself dying 

I couldn't keep my head above water
I just kept on sinking sinking 
I felt myself drowning drowning drowning

chorus:
I I can't keep my head up above water no
I I felt myself drowning drowning drowning

Trying to keep my head above water 
But I keep on sinking 
Feel like I am drowning

Trying to keep my head above water 
But I keep on sinking 
Feel like I am drowning yeah

chorus:
I I can't keep my head up above water no
I I felt myself drowning drowning drowning

Drowning oh 
Drowning drowning 
Save me revive me

Spoken words:
I'm sinking
I'm drowning
Rescue Me
Save me
Is Your Love
Strong enough

Drowning  - NayJ. and *PACMAN*AKA*PAC*

I know this track is not a very cheerful subject, but after seeing many posts about chemtrails, it made me think, as I’d never in past questioned what I was seeing in the sky. I always assumed when I saw trails behind  planes in the sky it was just condensation. But after a lot of research I came to realize whether you choose to believe what the media says, all it takes is some common sense. As one scientist mentioned, if you walked in cold weather for several miles and turned around you would never expect or see a condensation trail for the length of your walk. Condensation disappears straight away……well it stands to reason that what you see in the sky is the same thing.  Condensation is just that, heat meeting cold, just like us when we speak, condensation dissipates straight away or like cars exhaust on a cold day) ...it also disappear within seconds. So why would they have us believe that the miles long trails are just that, condensation. Weather manipulation has been around for decades and now scientists all over the world are coming forwards with their knowledge of weather manipulation. It’s very real. 
So whether you believe it or not, or you think that the cause for global warming is only due to fumes coming from cars. At the end of the day, just use your common sense and look at what’s happening around you. Look at these extreme weather patterns around the world. As always, sounds better with headphones.

Great big thanks to Bitzone for reaching out and inspiring me to make music with him. He has been very patient with my process and generous with his creativity. He is a real cool guy and I am lucky to get to know him better. Lyrics and vocals only come out of me if the music's and my muses can make love with each other. 

The cold long overcast winters of the Pacific Northwest Portland Oregon area and the current nature of my work have affected me differently than the Sunny California positive vibing Bay Area. Therefor, I see life differently and my soul says different things. But the late spring and summer is alive with color and joyous with energy over here, making me more well rounded.

Blessings to the many experiences, dimensions, and moods of life.

Lyrics:

I’m sick of this world
I’m quick to unfurl
I light up the wick
And picture myself 
In the underworld

There’s many ways to die 
And I give ‘em a try
Each time that I lie
And close up my eyes 
Kapow 
Bak bak

Nobody cares
No one hears my prayers 
All I bear is unfair
I swear that I’ll tear
Your hair out if you speak 
Shut the fuck up

It ain’t just my fault
How I’m under assault 
Blaming is your default 
You pour salt on mistakes 
To try and validate
Your perceived superiority

A piece of advice
And you move on with you life 
I don’t owe ya
A thanks
I don’t owe ya

Get me to see 
My responsibility 
I don’t owe ya
A sorry
I don’t owe ya

This is my demise
Don’t tell me bout my life 
I don’t care if you think 
That you care
I’m aware
That I’m a fuck up

This is how my dream dies 
Don’t tell me to realize 
Who I am 
Cause you think that I am
Someone
That’s not a fuck up

Cause I am fuck up just a fuck up
I am fuck up
A real fuck

Telling me to shut up 
Always telling me to shut up

Bitzone and the Couch King - I Don't Owe Ya

This is about moving on when situations become more pain than joy, when it becomes too much hard work to maintain a joyful happy friendship or relationship. So, this is what I’m doing. My life has been very painful and complicated the past few years to continue on a downfall. Although I should have released a collab with a very talented producer, I will release it after this one. I just wanted to produce something light-hearted and cheerful with the hope of better things to come. Love to all. Copyright protected ©

AIR

What is in an empty jar
how far is the nearest star
type AIR and press the space bar

So curious …

Smoke rings of a cheap cigar
this life is the best by far

Breathe to be a superstar
invisible, yet here you are
drinking in a space bar

So curious …

I could get high on cocaine or fly on weed
but I’m up in the air and I’m high because I breathe
I’m on air
high on air

I breathe air
I breathe out
I breathe fire
breathe deep, no doubt
I breathe life
I breathe out
I breathe a wish
head in the clouds
and I am floating on air
and I doubt that I’m anywhere

The content of an empty jar
this life is the best by far
type AIR and press the space bar

So curious

I could get high on cocaine – that’s guaranteed
I got my head in the clouds and I’m high because I breathe
I’m on air
and I doubt that I’m anywhere

I breathe air
I breathe out
I breathe fire
breathe deep, no doubt
I breathe life
I breathe out
I breathe a wish
head in the clouds
and I am floating on air
and I doubt that I’m anywhere

And when I come do
will you be ’round
all these years in a haze
all these nights so awake
now I feel hope
and I see clear
and I feel you
and I feel safe

On Earth Tonight

There’s so much war on earth tonight
type-A wants to get his slice
everywhere mosquitoes bite
there’s so much war on earth to night
and we all need to heel

This blissful oblivion
hazy delirium
hello, bacterium!
oh, sweet, sweet ignorant life
sweet sweet life

On earth
stupidity moves the wheel
up, up, up
down, down, down
and everyone’s irreverent
the wheel moves the reel
up, up, up
around and around
indifferent
so where is our mothership?
where is your brain?
down, down, down
this is insane

We all need to heal

There’s so much pain on earth today
you feel the sour rain, taste ocean spray
type-A blaring: „Come what may!“
there’s too much pain on earth today
and we all need to heal

This blissful oblivion
hazy delirium
hello, bacterium!
oh, sweet, sweet ignorant life
sweet sweet life

On earth tonight

Crashing of the melting ice
where are the compassionites
missing love on earth tonight

Stupidity moves the wheel
up, up, up
down, down, down
and everyone’s indifferent
the wheel moves the reel
up, up, up
around and around
irreverent
so where is our mothership?
where is your brain?
down, down, down
this is insane
